- This research presents a novel approach to discriminating between true and deceptive statements about intended future behavior. Arguing that true intentions are goal-directed, we predict that people who genuinely intend to pursue a reported goal will implicitly evaluate goal-relevant cues positively, whereas people who do not intend to pursue the goal will not. Participants in an experiment were instructed to tell the truth about a planned future behavior (true intention) or to falsely report that same behavior to mask their actual mock-criminal intention (false intention). As predicted, an evaluative priming task showed that participants with true intention exhibited implicit positive evaluations of cues relevant to the reported goal, whereas participants with false intention did not. Subsequent analyses showed that implicit positivity significantly discriminated between true and false intentions. The findings are discussed in terms of theoretical contributions and implications for the development of future detection tools.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Research has shown that cues to deception are more salient as an effect of strategic use of evidence (SUE) during interviews. This study examined the feasibility of the SUE-technique for eliciting cues to children's deception. Experiment 1 investigated verbal cues to deception as a function of early vs. late disclosure of evidence. Eighty-four children (12–14 years) either guilty or innocent of a mock crime were interviewed. As predicted, deceptive statements were significantly more inconsistent with the evidence than truthful statements, and this was more pronounced as a function of late compared to early disclosure of evidence. In Experiment 2, adult observers (N=168) made veracity assessments of the videotaped statements. Observers in the late disclosure condition achieved an accuracy rate higher than chance (63.1%), whereas accuracy rates in the early disclosure condition were at chance level (56%). Accuracy rates were significantly higher for truthful (70.2%), than deceptive statements (48.8%).

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In this chapter we focus on different aspects of police officers' deception detection. We review research examing police officers' beliefs on cues to deception, and follow this up by a summary on what is known on police officers' ability to detect deception. We argue that the so-called information-gathering interviewing technique is a better technique for detecting deception than the more traditional confrontational techniques. We also highlight three new and promising extentions of the information gathering approach.

Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In this special issue the focus is on eight research themes within investigative psychology; most of which have occupied researchers for a long time (e.g. investigative interviewing), but a few of the themes have not until recently caught the attention of psycho-legal researchers (e.g. offender profiling and malingering). The overarching aim is to discuss how psychological research can help solve concrete problems that occur in investigative contexts.

"Can you remember what was in your pocket when you were stung by the bee?" - Eliciting cues to deception by asking the unanticipated.
- 2010

Ingår i: Open Criminology Journal. - 1874-9178. ; 3:1, s. 31-36
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this paper we focused on children’s deception (10-12 years, Experiment 1), and adult’s ability detect deception in children (Experiment 2). The self-presentational perspective (DePaulo, 1992), suggests that both liars and truth tellers will try to act in a convincing manner to be assessed as truth tellers. By asking unanticipated questions we put the liars in the following dilemma: If they did not answer they would risk being considered avoidant and, thus, run the risk of being discredited. On the other hand, if they did answer they would risk failing to act like a truth teller, and thereby run the risk of being discredited. In Experiment 1 we predicted, and found, that liars’ attempt to actively create an honest impression (answer) overruled their attempt to passively imitate truth tellers (not answering). Specifically, liars (vs. truth tellers) were more willing to answer the unanticipated questions. Experiment 2 showed that adult observers had difficulty with discriminating between lying and truth-telling children (overall accuracy rate: 57%). Lie-catchers who had been exposed to children answering unanticipated questions did not outperform lie-catchers who had watched children answering anticipated questions. Our successful attempt to elicit a diagnostic cue to deception (willingness to answer unanticipated questions) is placed within the new line of research aimed at increasing lie-catchers’ ability to detect deception.

- Purpose. In this experiment we examined whether an unanticipated spatial task couldincrease the differences between lying and truth telling groups of adolescents. In addition,we explored whether there are some elements of such a spatial task that elicit morediagnostic cues to deception than others.Methods. In groups of three, adolescents (N = 150, aged 13–14) either experienced(‘truth tellers’) or imagined (‘liars’) an event. In subsequent individual interviews, theadolescents were asked to provide both a general verbal description of the event (theanticipated task), and a spatial description by making marks on a sketch (the unanticipatedtask). Next, adults (N = 200) rated the degree of consistency between either the generaldescriptions or the spatial descriptions from the adolescents in each triad.Results. The differences between liars and truth tellers were larger for the spatialmarkings (the unanticipated task) than for the general verbal descriptions (the anticipatedtask). Importantly, as predicted, the difference between lying and truth-telling triads wasmost manifest for markings of salient (vs. non-salient) aspects of the event.Conclusions. The results suggests that (a) using spatial tasks may be a useful tool fordetecting deception in adolescents, but that (b) the assessment of credibility should onlydraw on the salient aspects of the unanticipated spatial task.

- We examined an innovative lie detection tool: Drawings. Participants were sent out on a mission to receive a package from a particular location and to deliver it somewhere else. They were told that they may be intercepted by agents belonging to the organisation they were to represent, or to a hostile organisation. They were instructed to reveal the actual details about their mission to friendly agents but to lie and make something up about all aspects of their mission to hostile agents. After the mission the participants were intercepted and interviewed by either friendly or hostile agents. In these interviews they were asked to describe the location where they received the package, and after the interview they were asked to sketch that location. The results showed that participants’ drawings revealed more cues to deceit than their speech.

Eliciting cues to deception and truth: What matters are the questions asked
- 2012

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this paper we argue that there is little need for more of the traditional deception detection research in which observers assess short video clips in which there are few (if any) cues to deception and truth. We argue that a change in direction is needed and that researchers should focus on the questions the interviewer needs to ask in order to elicit and enhance cues to deception. We discuss three strands of research into this new ‘interviewing to detect deception’ approach. We encourage practitioners to use the proposed techniques and encourage other researchers to join us in conducting more research in this area. We offer some guidelines for what researchers need to keep in mind when carrying out research in this new paradigm.

Getting into the minds of pairs of liars and truth tellers: An examination of their strategies.
- 2010
-
Ingår i: Open Criminology Journal. ; 3:1, s. 17-22
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- We examined the strategies used by 20 pairs of liars and 20 pairs of truth tellers when they were given the opportunity to prepare themselves for an interview in which they would be questioned about their whereabouts during a given period of time. More lying than truth telling pairs prepared themselves for the interviews. The truth tellers and liars who did prepare themselves used different verbal strategies but the same nonverbal strategies. Regarding verbal strategies, truth tellers were predominantly concerned with telling everything they could remember. In contrast, liars thought of answers they could give to possible questions but also decided to be vague so that they would not contradict each other. Regarding nonverbal strategies, both truth tellers and liars tried to suppress nervous behaviours. These findings explain why truth tellers are typically more detailed than liars but also why liars are typically equally consistent as truth tellers, at least when answering questions they have anticipated. Implications for interview techniques to detect deceit are discussed.
